Axelay Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 I really hope that they can go into the roster of the KOF series and not just stop at Kyo and Iori (which would be the givens). I need a Robert Garcia like I cannot explain. Waaaaaaay back in college, I won a KOF '95 tournament largely due to that one character. Quote
Mommar Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Where are the Samurai Showdown figures? Quote

Big s Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I may have mentioned samurai showdown before in the sh figurative thread or it could have been this one. I’m just glad I’m not the only one who really wants some great figures from that franchise. Quote
Mazinger Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 I really wish someone would start producing Darkstalkers figures. I got so desperate that I started modding my own. I know the Storm's are not in scale with my Figuarts, but I would pay anything (reasonable) to have a proper vampire savior line. Those KoF figs are nice, but I've yet to dive into that franchise. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Kyo looks good, even better than the upcoming 1/6 figure. Terry Bogard might just get a well sculpted figure. Quote
Axelay Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Wow, that Kyo is amazing! Bring on more of the roster! (But, uh... for as much a hardcore fan of KOF that I claim to be, I personally can't stand this character. I can count the number of times on one hand that I've ever used him, and I own almost all of the KOF games in my MVS. ) Quote
eggy99 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 I’m impressed by this Kyo. It really looks like him. Personally I’m a big Kyo fan. Would love to see NESTS white jacket version too. And Mai! I bet they utilise the soft chest that they featured on Battle Chun Li. I think Storm just need to improve their female faces. I find the Chun Li one not attractive enough. Quote

Sildani Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Face needs a little work... but she doesn’t look like she has a waist. Quote

Mommar Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Storm has got some awesome stuff going on. Sagat looks amazing. They’re making Figuarts look impotent. And the Axe Battler from Golden Axe is a fun surprise. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Just when I thought the ninjas from World Heroes were coming from left field, in comes Axe Battler-awesome! Edited February 16, 2019 by Valkyrie Hunter D Quote

Mazinger Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 "Here comes a new challenger" https://news.toyark.com/2019/02/15/darkstalkers-license-announced-by-storm-collectibles-332703 So apart from this hobby, I've fallen pretty hard into fighting games. Apart from Street Fighter, I'm obsessed with Darkstalkers. It is a smooth, beautiful, and fast game that pioneered many fighting game innovations that we now come to expect in the genre. Fearing there would never be a proper line, I've even customizing figs to using Marvel figs and even sculpting on top of lego skeletons but now there will finally be a line! I don't own any Storm Collectibles yet, but you can be damn sure I'm buying up this whole line. Please oh please let them include my main, Hsien-Ko, praise Jedah! Quote
Big s Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I’m still waiting for samurai showdown, but I did have a lot of fun with darkstalkers. Quote

badboy00z Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Storm would make incredible buff and bulky renditions of classic Superman and Batman. I really hope they do since they are making DC figures from Injustice. Quote

Mommar Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 While the Darkstalkers announcement is cool I’s be happy if they finally showed something from Samurai Showdown they announced ovet a year ago. Quote
eggy99 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 They need to improve the paint detail on their female faces if they're going to do Morrigan justice. Quote
Big s Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 I’m with mommar on this. I’m still waiting also. Quote
brouken Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Yessss! This is the Ryu figure I’ve been waiting for! Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 I'm definitely liking these more than their SFV counterparts. I'm hoping this leads to a better looking Chun Li as well. Quote
eggy99 Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Wow these are fantastic. They really captured the look from the in game artwork and mug shots. I'm also interested in their rendition of SSF2 Chun Li. Hope it's better than their effort with SFV Chun Li's face. Quote
brouken Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Okay, I just noticed something in the pics. It seems they mismatched Ryu and Ken's pants. The ripped pants went to Ken, and the clean edged pants went to Ryu. It should be the other way around. I hope Storm corrects that in the final products. Otherwise, they do really look spot on. Can't wait to have these in my collection! Quote
eggy99 Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) I guess if they really want to be sprite accurate then both of them should have unripped gis. Haha. If Ken has the unripped pants then his top needs to be unripped too. You know Ryu should come with his red hadoken too since Ken comes with a hadoken and flaming shoryuken. A bit unfair. Edited May 19, 2019 by eggy99 Quote
Mazinger Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 These look good. I'm partial to the look of the SOTA line, but sadly we aren't getting more of those. The Bandai SHFiguarts are nice and the articulation is incredible, but the faces lack intensity and are a bit too Anime generic. A shame that Ryu doesn't come with his hobo duffle bag. Quote
eggy99 Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 I think my fave part of these is the defeated screen face they come with! It's only a shame that these are USF2 and not world warrior. WW had some really funny defeated portraits. Quote
eggy99 Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Good chance this won't be fixed before they're released, since both USF2 Evil Ryu and Violent Ken had the same mistakes for the pants and top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-yKGPw2fa8 Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 12, 2019 Author Posted June 12, 2019 Street Fighter II Ultra continues... They're both August 2019 releases. It will also be sold first in SDCC 2019. Quote
